测试环境：

NTPserver 192.168.1.252

NTPclient 192.168.1.251

准备工作：

关闭selinux：

vi /etc/selinux/config

SELINUX=disabled

关闭iptables：

service iptables stop

chkconfig iptables off

一.安装NTP软件包：

yum -y install ntp /*yum安装NTP服务*/

chkconfig --add ntpd /*添加NTP*/

chkconfig ntpd on /*开机自启动NTP*/

二.修改NTP配置文件：

vi /etc/ntp.conf

三.与上层服务器同步时间：

[root@PXEServer ~]# ntpdate 0.CentOS.pool.ntp.org
 8 Nov 11:13:09 ntpdate[4618]: adjust time server 202.112.29.82 offset -0.037618 sec

四.开启NTP服务：

[root@PXEServer ~]# service ntpd start
正在启动 ntpd：[确定]

五.在客户机测试时间同步：

[root@node ~]# ntpdate 192.168.1.252
 8 Nov 12:09:36 ntpdate[9118]: adjust time server 192.168.1.252 offset -0.035431 sec

其他：

设置TimeZone：

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Asia/Shanghai /etc/localtime

问题1：

[root@PXEServer ~]# ntpdate 0.centos.pool.ntp.org
 8 Nov 11:12:34 ntpdate[4606]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting

原因：该机已经运行NTP服务。

解决：

[root@PXEServer ~]# service ntpd stop
关闭 ntpd：[确定]
[root@PXEServer ~]# ntpdate 0.centos.pool.ntp.org
 8 Nov 11:13:09 ntpdate[4618]: adjust time server 202.112.29.82 offset -0.037618 sec

[root@PXEServer ~]# service ntpd start
正在启动 ntpd：[确定]
